Australia to pay for teen Gastric Bypass surgery.

This just in from The Center for the Lack of Common Sense:

OBESE people as young as 14 would get free weight-reduction surgery under a radical Australian Medical Association proposal to tackle the obesity crisis.

The Opposition and health groups have backed the scheme for publicly funded weight loss surgery, which was proposed by the association in a submission to the State Government.

The most common weight-reduction operation is lap-band surgery, in which a band is placed around the stomach to constrict it and reduce hunger.

Victorian medical experts are trialling the surgery on 25 teenagers as young as 14, with another 25 adolescents doing conventional diet and exercise programs to compare the results.

Health experts said the operation — known as bariatric surgery — worked best on younger people, and could boost life expectancy.

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, all for health. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients with the water and sugars removed. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Like our weight loss plan that is a doctor approved diet plan, this is a healthy choice. A diet and weight loss plan that is endorsed by healthy dieters around the world, you can always lose weight, but are you doing it the healthy way? Oprah's Dr. Mehmet Oz knows that a diet is temporary but a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet plan in place is for good. Even Juice plus+ is made from the juice from an orange, a lot of orange juice, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added. A Medifast diet with fountain water without some breville and juice fountain, although fruits and other juice is the convenient way to get nutrients but many convenient even if you have apple juice. When I can't have those healthy and fresh products, I use juice plus vitamin, and juice nsa plus is a way to get healthy with juice plus vitamin, so if you are a distributor juice plus, then the gummies juice plus is juice plus supplement. The juice plus scam that we see does not hold much credence, but it is a problem. You may have read a juice plus review that is similar to acai juice plus. If you are interested in any juice plus product and you want to learn if there are any benefits, then look at the juice plus research. Breville fountain juice plus is not one of the things that is available, but the complete juice plus line can be found at www.jpsupplement.com. If you have a complaint juice, then any distributor nsa plus can help you. Juice noni is not something you can find when you try to buy juice plus. All the nutrients plus some fiber from the fruits and veggies can be found in the capsules. Don't get it from ebay because the jp+ you find there is usually expired or you can be sure of the quality. You may use to find inc juice nsa plus for you diet, but don't expect to use a breville fountain. If you look for the capsules or the pills - don't be confused it's not a weight loss plan like Medifast that many people are familiar with. Be sure to consider thins, the vineyard, and even the gummy. If you are pregnant, take juice plus everyday as a perfect alternative to most vitamins on the market. There is a Juice Plus+ study - actually many - that validate the quality and effectiveness of the nutrition that is found in the product. Now we also recommend if you are having trouble getting your diet plan situated, and you need some structure provided by someone else, then you consider using Medifast for your meals and snacks. It is a healthy alternative meal plan, although we don't necessarily recommend that you count on making it a permanent fixture in your life. Fresh fruits and vegetables are a necessary part of a healthy diet and that's what will support your health, and that you won't get from Medifast diet. That is also why we recommend Juice Plus+, which is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables, then with a cup of vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, you get a healthy start. When you start with a juice, and then you add another, you get a healthy combination. Juice plus is made with an orange, a lot of orange juice, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added. With this supplement, the sugar and water are removed through a drying process that leaves you with the healthy nutrients you need! Try Juice Plus today!

Douglas Travis, the president of AMA Victoria, said: "Obesity is now classified as one of the national health priorities by the new federal minister, and it's a big problem for Australia. Once you are morbidly obese, almost all of the talking, walking magic cures don't work." In its 2008-09 budget submission, the AMA has called on the State Government to fund five public hospitals to provide 3000 obesity-related operations over the next three years, at a cost of $40.5 million.

Commentary:

I have some advice for those 'down under' to ponder as they through another shrimp on the barbe; put some veggies on the grill too, and perhaps serve up some fresh veggies--but mutilate the stomachs of your youth as a way to end obesity? At a cost of $40 million dollars?! I think it may be true what they say about Aussies, they are wacky folks!

We are NOT born with stomachs that are too large and therefore become Obese simply because our stomach are too large and will therefore become healthy once our stomachs have been surgically mutated. We will become healthier when we eat diets that are what our bodies were designed to consume; fruits, vegetables, protein, whole grains, water and we get our butts up off the couch and start moving more and being more active rather than playing video games, watching TV and just being plain lazy!

Austrailia is in for a world of trouble if they start giving kids the idea that you can keep eating junk food, allowing your health to deteriorate, get your body stuffed with fat and then just let a doctor clamp your stomach shut to solve your problems.

Let's ask this, if we were talking about your home's garbage disposal and sink, and you just kept piling all you could down the drain, but then just clamped it smaller--what would happen? Same junk going in, maybe a bit less each time, but where it ends up is smaller? BIG problems, that's what!

Folks, bottom line, the lack of Gastric Bypass surgery and lap bands is not WHY we are obese at alarming rates or why our kids are; we are Obese because we drink Coca-Cola and other high fructose corn syrup laced beverages, eat McDonald's and other high fat fried fast foods and we aren't active.
